A.O.C. Last Night In Original Location + New Location Open Soon

A.O.C., the restaurant and wine bar owned by chef Suzanne Goin and sommelier Caroline Styne, will celebrate its last night in its original West Third street location this coming Saturday, Jan. 19. The restaurant, which opened in 2002, is moving to a new location at 8700 West Third Street, about a mile west of the original.

"Yeah, I feel as though we've needed something ... some new sparkle," an A.O.C. waitress said a few weeks ago when talking about the move. "We're all pretty excited."

The new location will have a full bar, and the restaurant plans to add lunch and brunch service. No exact opening date for the new location, although it's expected to be in the first couple weeks of February.
